A man police were trying to pull over allegedly led an officer on a chase that ended outside the suspect’s Bristol Township home.

An officer tried to stop Schultz after he noticed his red work van swerving in the area of Veterans Highway (Route 413) and Winder Drive, police said.
Court papers state that during the case, the vehicle traveled up to 20 MPH at points.
Police said Schultz had a syringe and heroin on his person when he was taken into custody. A baggie similar to those used to package heroin was also reportedly found inside Schultz’s van.
